Full of laughable situa-‘ tions, lively dialogue that sparkles with humor. Richard Russell brings his young daughter of a first mar- riage from a Western Ranch to his City home.

Her many blun- ders in antagonizing her step-mother and winning the heart of her sister’s ‘beau make her as popular in the. ‘home as a case of measles.

They are Hon. Hugh Guthrie, Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Hon. Charles Marci], Sir George Perley, Hon. E. N. Rhodes and: Rt. H'QIIL W. L. McKenzie King. This is quite correct as far as it goes, but there are two members who, although not members of the House in 1909, sat in Parliament years be- fore that date, says: the London Free‘ Press. They are Robert S. White, M. P. for Mount Royal, and Henri Bour-i assa, member for Labelle. Mr. White: is the only member left who sat in‘ the House with Sir John A. Macdonald He was first elected in 1888 for the riding of Cardlwell, in which Bolton was situated. He succeeded his father the late Hon. Thomas White, minister of the interior in the Macdonald Gov- ernment and was: looked on as a likely successor of the Conservative chief- ‘tain. He was elected again in 1891, but retired before the 1896 election ito become collector of customs for ‘Montreal. After being out of politics for nearly 30 years he returned to the federal arena in 1925 and has been returned every election since for Mount Royal.
